Experience with left ventricular assist device usage in the treatment of end-stage heart failure [PDF]
Heart failure potentially developing in most of heart diseases is a progressive process associated with high morbidity and mortality. Almost 3/4 of patients die within five years after first hospitalization because of heart failure.

Use of Right Ventricular Assist Device Post-Left Ventricular Assist Device Placement
Right heart failure (RHF) is a common manifestation after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement and is associated with a high mortality rate. Historically, RV failure requiring an RVAD at the time of LVAD implantation has been associated with ...

Endocarditis in left ventricular assist device
Heart failure is one of the leading causes of death in developed nations. End stage heart failure often requires cardiac transplantation for survival. The left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has been one of the biggest evolvements in heart failure management often serving as bridge to transplant or destination therapy in advanced heart failure.

Biosensors with left ventricular assist devices
AbstractHeart failure imposes a significant global health burden, standing as a primary contributor to mortality. Various indicators and physiological shifts within the body may hint at distinct cardiac conditions. Specific biosensors have the capability to identify these changes.
